Product Description

What if you accomplished something that was considered impossible? What if you captured the rarest and most unusual animal in the world - a small dinosaur - and brought it to America? What if it got loose?Professor Henry J. Fossils is the very model of a gentlemanly but distracted old southern scholar. Ironically, he may soon be arrested for embezzlement, international smuggling and grand theft dinosaur. His hole card is he has hidden the most valuable and exotic animal in the world: a living four foot tall, one hundred and twelve pound green dinosaur with hot rod speed and a great natural talent for creating trouble. Henry broke a few rules in acquiring his unprecedented specimen and the bill is about to come due. He can validate a lifetime of work and set the scientific community on its ear if he can raise fifteen thousand dollars before the auditors descend on his science department’s books or before he is apprehended by Sergeant John Tumi, an ominous seven foot tall officer of the Cameroon National Police or before his good-natured but slightly ditsy African born veloxsaur absurdus can escape to reek havoc on an unsuspecting southern university and the surrounding town. The clock is ticking as Henry tries to flee the tsunami of prehistoric chaos that is poised to overwhelm both him and the university he loves. Rounding out the eclectic troop of characters that orbit Henry’s looking glass world are a ten year old savvy hustler named Billy Speaks, a Gothic teenage grandniece with visions of world fame, three aging but mischievous science professors, a girl scout leader with an anarchist bent and a museum robotic dinosaur exhibit gone terribly, terribly wrong. Jurassic Park was a Sunday picnic compared to all this. Fossils…Everyone Chase the Dinosaur is a science fiction and fantasy novel filled with humor, heart and literal cliff-hanging adventure. It is all about what can happen when something unimaginable and amazing invades a mundane world and transforms it. This is the rare tale that can entertain young people and older adults while winking wryly at its readers. In the end we discover Dr. Henry Fossil’s veloxsaur may indeed be braver, more resourceful and smarter than the average dinosaur.
